If the barcode is a string or number with no more than 3 consecutive numbers then it seems to work OK and I can validate the output against other barcode tools. However, if the desired code includes 4 or more consecutive numbers I do not get a valid barcode returned. Long strings with 3 or less consecutive numbers seem to work OK.

If I am using it the wrong way please tell me I am a numpty and point me in the right direction. I have not been able to find any useful documentation on the barcode bits of reportlab.

the code looks nothing special, but maybe some non-working examples would be 
good. I have a reader which we used to check most of the codes, but it is always 
  a function of the size and print quality.
